I currently work from home full-time with a lot of flexibility in my work schedule, so I am able to take the pets out for walks multiple times a day if needed, and it opens me up to be more available to watch your pets. I am a highly active person so having a furry companion to play with always makes my days better.

Safety, trust & environment

I currently share an apartment with a roommate who does not do well with Pet Dander so it is best if I care for your furry friends at your home. I will respect your wishes whether you allow pets on furniture or not. I do not mind if they are on the furniture but that is a personal preference and understand the need for consistency with animals. When caring for your pet I just ask that you provide a note of preferred do's or dont's in your home.

Information Taylor D. would like to know about your pet

Any information you can provide on your pets specific needs and/or likes will make our time together that much more comfortable and enjoyable for them.

A typical day

Due to my flexible working schedule, I am able to take your pet for walks throughout the day. I also enjoy playing fetch, tug-o-war, and cuddling with pets.

Pet care experience

I grew up with both dogs and cats, I even had a gecko when I was younger. I have lived with and cared for pets my whole life. I grew up with a orange tabby cat, and recently lived with a Bombay and an American shorthair. I have also cat sat an Egyptian Mau and a Nebelung. My friends call me the cat whisperer because even when they say "he/she isn't keen to newcomers, the cat tends to feel comfortable with me right from the start". This is something I love seeing since cats are known to be more picky about who they chose to rub against or get close to. I have also grown up around and cared for a variety of dogs. To list a few dog breeds I have cared for: American Eskimo, Labrador, Golden Retrieves, Huskie, Malamute, German Shepard, Cavapoo, Belgian Malinois, Golden Doodle, Beagle, Wiener dog, Katahula, Mountain Cur, Boxer. My first dog was an American Eskimo , and then my family also had a couple Labs and currently have a Katahula/Mountain Cur mix. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me with the care of their pets. I have experience working with working dogs (Belgian Malinois, German Shepard) and caring for them on strict schedules as my best friend has 2 working dogs that have alternating schedules and crate times. My last roommate has a Cavapoo and since I work fully remote I spent the days caring for him, taking him on walks, feeding him dinner, I even gave him bathes though he didn't particularly enjoy them. I love to go for runs/walks and love to cuddle. I promise that if you chose me to care for your pet they will receive all the love I have to offer.

Taylor is really great with our Aussie. She has watched him twice, and we could not be happier with the excellent care she provides.

Taylor was great! She arrived in timely fashion (just perfectly early) and was prepared for her day with Scout. She was prepared from our meet and greet and reiterated the game plan for Scout. She spent a bunch of activity time with him so he was not wound up on our return. A very successful session and we'll be happy to be using Taylor's services again in the future!

Taylor is incredible with our little puppy. She’s super accommodating to our pup’s needs and has been very flexible with our schedule!

We would definitely have Taylor stay with our dogs again. She was prompt, responsive, communicative, and a problem solver. She’s calm and takes her role as canine caregiver seriously. She left the house spotless. Our dogs were happy and calm when we returned.
